This Low-Maintenance Hair Colour Is Set to Be Everywhere This Autumn

If you've read our guide to the biggest autumn hair colours, then you'll know that bright, bold shades are everywhere right now. As fun as these colours are, they can be a lot to maintain, so when I saw that honey blonde hair was trending, I was very happy. This low-maintenance blonde hue is perfect for autumn, and it seems that the celebs agree.
Everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Sofia Richie Grainge has been spotted sporting this dreamy hair colour, and it's even tempting me to go a bit lighter for the new season. If you're keen to know exactly what honey blonde hair involves, then keep on scrolling for everything you need to know. And after looking at these gorgeous inspo pics, you might even be tempted to give it a go yourself…
Much like the name suggests, this blonde shade has a warm, honey-like finish. Brunette and even red tones can be blended throughout to give this colour a deeper, richer shade than your usual blonde, making it the ideal choice for the colder months. Whether you want to lighten your hair or tone your blonde down a little bit, this is an easy way to do so for autumn and beyond.
If you don't want to be blonde all over, you can opt for honey-blonde highlights or balayage for more of a subtle golden hue. Because this shade blends well with brunette tones, it also means that you don't have to worry as much about regrowth. In fact, if you get the blend just right, when your darker roots come through, it can look totally intentional. Low-maintenance and celeb-approved? What's not to love?
